If you press backspace and you get a space then in all likelyhood the keycode that represents your backspace has been configured incorrectly - FAQs sometimes (stupidly) say that xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = 0177' is a good idea (or other such hard-coded number). The reason behind them doing this is that it forces xterm to send a ^? when the backspace is pressed, but by doing that normal X applications won't know what the keys mean anymore. ...

(aset keyboard-translate-table ?\^? ?\b) Recent versions of emacs have a function keyboard-translate and one may simplify the above to (keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?) (keyboard-translate ?\C-? ?\C-h) Note that under X emacs can distinguish between Ctrl-h and the Backspace key (regardless of what codes these produce on the console), and by default emacs will view the Backspace key as DEL (and do deletion things, as bound to that character, rather than help things, bound to ^H).

8. Kermit FAQ - The Backspace Key

"Backspace" is also is the name of an ASCII control character (ASCII value 8), which might or might not be associated with the Backspace key. "Backspace" is also an abstract concept relating to computers, terminals, and typewriters, having at least two distinct meanings: .
- This is called a destructive backspace. ...
- This is a nondestructive backspace. ...
- To confuse matters even further, your keyboard might have keys other than Backspace that suggest a destructive backspace capability. For example, modern (101-key) PC keyboads include both a "Del" and "Delete" key and one or two Left Arrow keys in addition to the Backspace key. ...
- To cause a destructive backspace operation, the terminal must send an appropriate code to the host, and the host must reply with appropriate terminal-specific codes to move the terminal's cursor and remove the unwanted character. Unfortunately, different hosts and applications use different characters (or sequences) for destructive backspace (and of course, different terminals use different codes for screen formatting). The terminal emulator, Kermit or otherwise, has no way of knowing what host or application you are using, or how it is configured, and therefore no way of knowing what to send when you press the Backspace key. ...
- Of course, Kermit's Backspace key must send something "out of the box", i. ... This is default backspace assignment. ...
9. GNU Emacs Manual
- www.delorie.com
- With a window system, if the usual erasure key is labeled BACKSPACE and there is a DELETE key elsewhere, but the DELETE key deletes backward instead of forward, that too suggests Emacs got the wrong information--but in the opposite sense. It ought to be treating the BACKSPACE key as DEL, and treating DELETE differently, but it isn't. ...
- In all of those cases, the immediate remedy is the same: use the command M-x normal-erase-is-backspace-mode. ...
- (normal-erase-is-backspace-mode 0) .
- For the other two cases, where BACKSPACE ought to act as DEL, use this line: .
- (normal-erase-is-backspace-mode 1) .
- Another way to fix the problem for every Emacs session is to customize the variable normal-erase-is-backspace: the value t specifies the mode where BS or BACKSPACE is DEL, and nil specifies the other mode. ...
- With a window system, it can also happen that the usual erasure key is labeled BACKSPACE, there is a DELETE key elsewhere, and both keys delete forward. This probably means that someone has redefined your BACKSPACE key as a DELETE key. ...
